That is very interesting: The Eagles are nominated for a German Award, yay!

They other nominees in the category Best International Band are:

Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Snow Patrol and Sunrise Avenue (never heard about them )
One thing makes me confused: The Echo site says the winner will be decided by a jury... but at the same time it says the winner will be decided by record sales. Hmmmm...
